Magical, powerful playdough!





With playdough we do a lot of fun things! - Squishing, rolling, sculpting, molding . . . young children love to play with playdough. Add somefun things from around the home and playdough play becomes a powerful way to support your child’s learning. 

This simple tool lets children use their imaginations and strengthen the small muscles in their fingers—the same muscles they will need and use to hold a pencil and write.

 Using playdough with you, a friend, or siblings supports your child’s social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and enjoying being with other people. Playdough also encourages children’s language and literacy, science, and math skills—all at the same time!
